25. The expert from France introduced ECE/TRANS/WP.29/GRVA/2021/17, which aimed at clarifying the requirements in case an alternative to the Software Identification Number (SWIN) is used. The expert from OICA provided comments on the proposal (GRVA-09-09). The expert from UK supported the proposal. He inquired about the reason why long transitional provisions would be needed.
